Georgia Tech Selects Workday to Transform Its Financial Administration System

Georgia Tech has announced its intent to pursue a contract with Workday to transform the Institute’s financial administration system. The project scope will encompass financial data, business processes, and systems integration.

“This transformation is expected to enable Georgia Tech to more effectively and efficiently achieve its strategic goals by leveraging state-of-the-art technology and creating a unified financial and business digital experience for the campus community,” said Greg Phillips, senior director of Enterprise Resource Planning.

After launching the financial transformation initiative last summer, the Office of Enterprise Resource Planning assembled a cross-functional team to engage the campus community and University System of Georgia stakeholders in a collaborative discovery process, in pursuit of a cloud-based system (software as a service). Workday was deemed the best provider after a comprehensive request-for-proposal process.

The Institute expects to begin the system implementation later this summer following the selection of a system integration partner.
